    There was never much that Etoile carried with her, much like how her room on the floatilla was empty. Trinkets always felt like clutter without a purpose and books were heavy and never filled with knowledge that she couldn't get outside. As long as she followed after the stars everything would...

    The grin curved sharp as it did wide, if it were a blade it would cut through its own sheath, would slice skin with a soft touch. She used both hands to triumphantly push her dark hair off her brow in silent victory. The heat was still beating down on her, sun humming it's warnings. She ignored...

    Beneath the glistering sun, Etoile turned to stare down the man that decided to be a third-wheel, no, a cockblock in her love story. The stars hadn't told her that she'd have a rival to contend with, they had only told her that her hero would be here. Perhaps she had nothing to worry about then...

    There was something that needed to be found. Etoile had awoken from a dream that would have frightened many, but instead it had made her heart beat. No, not that her heart had never beat before, it was beating now as she climbed up and along a path beneath the heat of the sun. Rather, Etoile...

    Open Big Tent of Horrors: Karn Evahl

    It was hard to ignore the pressure in her lungs as she tried breathing against slimy pink flesh. Etoile's breathing became shallow, softer, even if she felt like she was gasping for air. She closed her eyes, dark lashes thick with something wet that wasn't her tears or her sweat. She bit her...

    Private Bloody Bark and Bleeding Hearts

    Beauty Water, they called it. They said it came from birch trees. Birch Water it was called, until someone said there were no birch trees in that part of the South where Mirna stuck fence posts in the soil. Forget the Fountain of Youth; rumors spread about the Tree of Youth. Its sap was used...

    Open Big Tent of Horrors: Karn Evahl

    The Animal Cages "Where are all the animals?" Etoile wondered, staring at a few empty cages with doors wide open. One door was stuck, swinging back and forth like a horrendously designed wind chime caught in a humid breeze. She looked up at the sky as if one of them were hiding there, but...

    Open Big Tent of Horrors: Karn Evahl

    [cred] ||The Animal Cages AKA Future Petting Zoo Someone had opened the cages, but Etoile didn't hear the click of metal and the clack of claws before sound softened from dirt. There were far more exciting things to see, like a crow with two heads and cloudy white eyes. It was comforting to...

    Open Big Tent of Horrors: Karn Evahl

    The Animal Cages "They like to eat things cold." "Like shaved ice?" The look she received was vacuous, not that it had been anything other than that. Black, empty eyes stared back at her like the shadows growing from the tall metal cages housing the beasts. Hooves echoed out in a resounding...

    Private A Collection of Horns

    A heavy, pregnant silence was between them. Etoile felt the pain in her lower back, the strain in her knees, the pressure in her feet. Her shoulders slumped forward as the man's words invaded her mind. He wanted to end this? But this was greater than both of them combined. The crowd became...

    Etoile listened, tilting her head towards the man like a curious bird. Slights and slants, delicate and narrow, composed her. The half-elf seemed half-formed: too short for an elf, too willowy for a human. Sometimes she found her reflection to be one or the other; other times, both. "I am...

    Open Catch a Ride: South Ilica, Harbor Village of Cisne

    The half-elf deflated, even her hair seemed to droop alongside her shoulders, no longer weaving untold poetry with the help of the wind. Lifeless and limp, like any other's hair, attached to a head instead of a greater force of nature. She thought of taking his glasses regardless, but something...

    "Can you believe it?" Etoile opened pale gray eyes, turning her head to the man beside her. Her voice was soft like downy feathers or the fur on a fluffy cat's belly. It wasn't accusatory, the words simply a reflection. Etoile looked back to the scene. There were inspectors who used shroud stone...

    Private A Collection of Horns

    A free city-state, a place for Etoile to wander without fear. The sun was high, the moons translucent with a wash of watercolor blue. The sun spoke to her with gentle, warm whispers, guiding her to where she need be. She wasn't late but right on time, it told her, just a few more steps there, a...

    Open Catch a Ride: South Ilica, Harbor Village of Cisne

    "Perils?" Etoile echoed. Her head tilted to the side, curious like a small bird. She looked at Mister Aktan, studying his face and the feathers close to his beak. Etoile was sure those afterfeathers must feel soft and divine; those pale, wispy, fluffy, downy goodness would be lovely to stroke as...
